Ah, that’s a good idea. There’s something so nice about actually writing in longhand, like it feels more connected to your heart or something

I kind of have the same fear so I tend to write (long hand) for half an hour each day. Sometimes I write on an ongoing project, sometimes I write personal stuff, sometimes I just jot idea for the blog. I always try to have at least half an hour of pure creativity each day

You look really nice in that photo.

I’m pretty sure that everyone has an idealistic teen vision of themselves and that vision in many ways haunts us and sometimes doesn’t let us fulfill our own potential. It’s like an old skin we need to shed.

Just wanted to let you know I loved your story! Such a clear observation of how seeing peope we know in a different environment and power relationship can change our view of them and make us reconsider our own role in the relationship we have ith them. Food for thought

That’s my legal name, so to speak. “Asharya” was a mistake a director on a film I worked on made when he submitted his film’s info to IMDB, but I kept it because, ironically, I found that people pronounced my last name more correctly with it than my “real” name! It doesn’t matter to me, either way, since my family name isn’t English language.

That’s a good point with the Before Sunrise movies! I think that’s true, as well, they’re nice models of what the next decade of life can offer you, with all its high points and difficulties. I’m excited for the next installment and can’t wait for it to come out.

Nonsense, you look great in that picture. But did they misspell your name?

I’m not sure that, when I was 17, I realized I’d be alive in my 30s. Or really, it’s more like, I think I had a pretty solid idea of what I’d be like in my 20s; but then I thought I’d instantly turn into a cool old irascible grandfatherly man.

Interestingly, the Before Sunrise movies have done a good job of calming my fears about the decade to come. When I was a teen I saw the first one and thought that my twenties were going to be alright. In my twenties I saw Before Sunset and thought, you know, being in your thirties doesn’t seem so bad after all. Looking forward to the next one so I can get used to the idea that I’ll someday be 40.
